Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped plastic device that is inserted into the uterus by a medical professional to prevent pregnancy. It is a long-acting, reversible contraceptive method that provides continuous protection for 3-10 years depending on the type of IUD used. The other options, such as FemCap, cervical cap, diaphragm, and female condom, are all barrier methods that are inserted or placed over the cervix or vagina to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, but they do not involve placement in the uterus.
